Copy of Andrea Palladio's conjectural reconstruction drawings of the Baths of Caracalla, Rome: elevation and sections

NOTES: Part of the Burlington Devonshire Collection, this drawing (copied from Palladio's conjectural reconstruction of the 1540s) was prepared for 'Fabbriche Antiche disegnate da Andrea Palladio Vicentino, e date in luce da Ricardo Conte di Burlington', (London, 1730), for Lord Burlington. The Baths of Antonius Caracalla were the largest thermae in the world when completed in 217 AD and could house 1600 people. They were functional for over 300 years.
